“Collect Images for Fun and Research – Use Pinterest” by Joan Y. Edwards

Wikipedia says Pinterest allows users to save images and categorize them on different boards. You can follow other users’ boards if they have similar tastes. Wikipedia says popular categories are travel, cars, food, film, humor, home design, sports, fashion, and art. I haven’t used Pinterest. I have a folder on my computer where I collect images for my blog. I put them in folders from the different sites from which I downloaded them. I have a folder for those I created. I imagine that Pinterest is similar. It also saves the website where you found the picture. I have to write mine in the word document where I save them. It might save me time. share them. Others can see the URL of the website where each image was found, too.

It’s a great way to collect and save images for your next historical novel, or the family pictures. Want to buy a new home, then collect photos of your favorite homes.

You can keep your pin boards private. You can also share your pinned boards with Facebook or Twitter or send a link through emails. People can leave comments and re-pin what you posted in your collection.

If you used to cut out pictures from magazines and newspapers, this might be a fun digital way to save your favorite images.

Good luck in your collections, either digital or with actual paper documents.

Oh my goodness! You have read articles on my blog a total of 48,348 times at his moment. I’m getting close to 50,000 views on my blog. Thank you for making this possible. One of my subscribers, Sandra Warren noticed how close I was and congratulated me. I asked her what should we do to celebrate. I liked her suggestion and am using it. Thank you, Sandra.

To celebrate I’m going to have a Give-Away to a lucky winner — a 1/2 hour personal consultation/critique on Making Your Blog Zing. I’ll do this by telephone or via computer (winner’s choice). I’ll analyze the lucky winner’s blog and make suggestions on how to improve what he’s already doing; give tips on how to organize his time; and most importantly, answer questions he has about his blog.

So I’ll give you more details on the first blog I write after I reach 50,000 readers. I’ll have a special treat for all subscribers to my blog at that time. Do you have any suggestions for fun and exciting ways to celebrate? Let me know.

Would you write a review of my picture book Flip Flap Floodle? Let me know in the comment area. Hear Flip’s Song. I have 14 reviews. I ‘d love to have 25 to give more confidence to buyers that Flip is a great investment of their $10.00. It’s a story that encourages children to Never Give Up even if they feel like they’ve been swallowed by a mean ole Mr. Fox. It’s available in paperback, Kindle and Nook.

Dear Linda,
Thank you for writing. I’m glad you think this is a great series on social network sites. I have a few more to go. Then I’ll put links to all the posts with a blog about choosing the one(s) you want to use. I’m glad you plan to refer to them when you’re ready to experiment and enjoy adventuring down the social network road.
